One evening, three men came to a station and asked a porter (搬运工人) ,“What time is the next train for London?”
The porter said,“You have just missed one. They go every hour, and the next one is at ten o'clock.”
“That's all right,”they said.“We'll go and have a drink.” So they went to a refreshment room (茶点室) . A minute or two after ten o'clock they came and said to the porter,“Has the train gone?”
“Yes ,”he said ,“it went at ten o'colck.”
“That's all right.”they said.“We'll go and have another drink.”So they went back again.
They missed the eleven o'clock train in the same way , and the porter said ,“Now the next train is the last one. If you miss that, you won't get to London tonight.”
Twelve o'clock came , and the three men ran quickly out of the refreshment room. Two of them got into the train just as the train was leaving, but the third one didn't run fast enough, and the train went out.
The porter went up to the third man and said ,“I told you this was the last train. Why didn't you come earlier?”
The man stood there and laughed for a long time. Then he said ,“I was going to London and they only came here to see me off.”
